For Janine aka Nine who always signs "your closest neighbor" and who's been pestering me for months to start blogging again, a photo of her beloved Dentelles de Montmirail, the closest mountain range to where we live . She knows the area like the back of her hand, she's hiked here ever since she was little. The day before yesterday the light was absolutely spectacular. You're right Nine, our backyard is a beautiful part of the world. More photos in my next post.

I just discovered that you are back blogging again. Looked at a week or so of blogs, from rock mushrooms, to flamingoes, to coffee cups and now to the photographs of this lovely place where Nine and you live. Good to see you again.

After six years in Australia and five years of city life in Avignon I moved to the countryside near the small village of Beaumes-de-Venise. Once dedicated to street photography my blog has since taken a more rural note but the beautiful region of Provence is an constant source of inspiration.
